I feel... Wicked

I went to see the Dutch version of the well-known musical Wicked earlier this month and I was blown away. It's absolutely amazing! Reason enough for me to create a nail look inspired by Glinda's dress as worn in the picture below.

The look I created;

Silly me didn't realise I didn't have a light, baby blue color so I improvised a little and used a white polish as base color. I added a general glitter polish over half the nail, a blue glitter polish to get the blueish glitter and used another jelly based blue glitter polish on the lower part of my nails to get the blue look.

I hope you like the look and that it may inspire you to create one of your own :-)

Have a great week,

Rainbow Toe Nails

I'm anything but traditional when it comes to the nail polish I use for my toe nails. I will on very rare occassion go for the traditional dark red or brown colors, but I prefer to have colorful toe nails no matter the season. Don't ask me why, the only excuse I can give you is that I'm a little weird :-) For those looking for inspiration, here are my Rainbow toe nails (they're a little short, sorry).

How to get this look?

The colors that I used are these;

From left to right in this picture (and on my left foot, right foot is mirrored);
- Herôme W.I.C. Moroccan Collection (Spring 2011), no 152, Essaouirab
- Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer, no 450, Sand Francisco
- Herôme W.I.C. Moroccan Collection (Spring 2011), no 150, Zagora
- Herôme W.I.C., no 76, Rome
- Herôme W.I.C. Moroccan Collection (Spring 2011), no 149, Rabat
I did two layers of each, even though most colors didn't need for good coverage, but to get really bright colors, it's better to use two layers.

I'll review these colors at a later moment as I prefer to use the nail polish on my hands for that.

'til next time!
